A Too-Tan Lea Michele, A Smiley Zooey Deschanel, And More At FOX’s Soirée

How fierce were the ladies of FOX on the red carpet at last night’s programming presentation post-party? Well, some fared better than others, as you’ll soon find out.

Lea Michele could have passed for a Floridian Real Housewife with her new head of highlights and seriously bronzed glow. We’ll admit the color of her Lela Rose frock is pretty, but other than that this was not the Glee star’s best look. Mindy Kaling, on the other hand, looked fantastic in periwinkle Jonathan Saunders and a pair of holographic pumps. But while the messy side-braid is our go-to look for bumming around the house, a red carpet hit it isn’t.

And one last quibble for good measure: we love Minka Kelly’s dress, but with the offbeat vibe of the cross-shoulder strap, the hemline could stand to be raised a few inches past tea length.

Check out all the looks below, and watch the video to see New GirlZooey Deschanel’s recent (and, it seems, temporary) hair transformation:
